About me

David Faust is the go-to person for members of the University of Minnesota and the broader community who have questions about the countries of South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), about the modern Middle East region, or East or Southeast Asia. He works with instructors and students on courses and creates web resources to support research and teaching. He also resolves problems with access to books, journals, databases, and other resources in his subject area; makes purchasing decisions; and takes requests for new materials.
